FRASSAnELLE
conte Papafava
The historical estate of Frassanelle is an undisclosed oasis of peace whithin the Veneto region. The
150 hectare property consists of a Venetian Villa, a 19th century english-style park, a carefully designed 18
hole golf course and organically grown land. it lies 20 km south of Padua within easy reach of the famous
historic villas of the Veneto, many of them built by the great italian architect Andrea Palladio, as well as
the northern italian cities of Venice (50 km), Vicenza (23 km), Verona (90 km), Ferrara (80 km), mantua (98
km) and the lake district. Frassanelle reveals its delights slowly and elegantly. leaving the hurly-burly of
Venice behind you, the drive takes you on a simple country road through a 19th century english-style park
and 50 hectares of organically cultivated land.
The main villa will appear dramatically on top of one of the hills, as though shielding the 18th century
agricultural centre of the estate and the beautifully restored farmhouse, la bencontenta, which can now be
rented by the week.
The estate of Frassanelle has belonged to the counts Papafava since the 13th century, well over 700 years.
The „fattoria“ farm buildings of the estate are surrounded by the english style park, organically grown
fields and - literally bordering on the estate - the natural Park of the euganean hills. The striking main
building with a columned courtyard was built in the 18th century, some alterations dating from the 19th
century. What used to be granarys, storerooms and living quarters of the employees have now been turned
into comfortable and well-equipped apartments. most attractive feature of the building is the courtyard
with its elegant loggia articulated by a series of columns, which are grown with a profusion of geraniums
and lemon trees in antique terracotta vases. Tables and chairs will invite you to spend some time here,
reading-up your guide books while having breakfast or relaxing with a glass of the excellent local red wine
after a rewarding day of sight-seeing. some of the other outhouses have been turned into equestrian stables
which house race horses. The wine cellar is now a reception room which is rented out for weddings or other
festivities. our guests have not been bothered by either, but you should however be aware of the other
activities on the premises.

excursions in the neighbourhood. Venetia is steeped in history and culture, city like Padua, Vicenza, Verona,
mantua, Ferrara and, of course, Venice are within easy reach. The numerous Veneto villas, are a real must.
The most famous of these - la badoera, la malcontenta, la rotonda, Villa maser, Villa emo and the Villa
cornaro rush, for instance - were designed by Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) who combined the classical
proportions of antiquity with the ground plans of the traditional Venetian palaces. seventeen are the work
of Palladio, but on the brenta canal north of Padua alone there are 125 villas, many of which evoke his
vocabulary. The most outstanding among them are the contarini simes and Pisani Villas - both more princely
residences than villas in the strict sense - and la malcontenta. They are all easily accessible from Frassa-
nelle. many of them are open to the public.
Apart from the famous towns and the extraordinary villas, we suggest visiting some smaller towns, all of
them reachable in less than 1,5 hours by car. bassano del grappa lies below the grappa mountain. close by
Asolo is a medieval jewel located north of bassano. Furthermore you have marostica, a fortified hamlet
famous for the biennial chess game with human figures, held in commemoration of a medieval challenge to
win the hand of the chatelains daughter. montagnana is one of the most famous and better conserved
medieval citadels of europe. Possagno is where the world famous sculptor Antonio canova was born. in the
museum, next to the house where he was born, you can see the plaster models and designs of his major
works of art.

Villa capodilista: Visits only upon request: Tel. 049 637294. originally a hunting lodge built in 1568, this was
the brainchild of dario Varotari, a painter and architect, pupil of Veronese. The rooms are covered in
mannerist frescoes: scenes from mythology and family history, putti, grotesques and vignettes. in keeping
with the open, hilly situation, Varotari designed a severely square building with identical facades, each with
extended double-storey loggias. The formal severity produces a delightful contrast with the playfully
theatrical loggias, their frescos and their elaborately decorated pediments. The internal layout of the
rooms follows the symmetrical principle. The four rooms on the ground floor and the four rooms on the first
floor are connected by a splendid staircase with four ramps. The basically square structure of the
hedge-lined italian garden is broken up by semicircular extensions, so-called exedra. Villa capodilista
belong to the estate la montecchia. www.lamontecchia.it

public in spring 2010. constructed between 1535 and 1542 on an embankment in the eugenean hills this
imposing villa stands out against the surrounding rural landscape. much more than a mere villa built to serve
agricultural functions, it is notable for its design, which reinterprets roman models and encapsulates a
perfect sense of harmony between art and nature a sense that is also evident in the interior design, which

Villa Rotonda by Palladio c. 1556: Vicenza, via rotonda 29. Although the Villa rotonda is the universal icon
of the Palladian villa, in reality its owner considered it as an urban residence, or — more appropriately —
a suburban one. Paolo Almerico in fact sold his own palace in the city in order to move just beyond its
walls, and Palladio himself publishes the rotonda amongst the palaces, not the villas, in the Quattro libri.
otherwise the villa is isolated on the crest of a small hill and originally there were no agricultural
dependencies.Visit: garden: 15 march – 4 november: from Tuesday to sunday 10am-12am / 3pm-6pm.
Villa: 15 march - 4 november: Wed. 10am-12am / 3-6 pm. With booking (min. 25 persons) after 4 november
and in other days. Tel. +39 0444 321793 / Fax +39 049 8790879 (preferable) +39 049 8791380.
Villa Valmarana ai nani: Vicenza, via dei nani 8. The Villa is a marvellous architectural and artistic sight
composed by three buildings and a wide 18th century park. in 1757, Tiepolo and his son giandomenico were
invited to Vicenza to fresco rooms in the Villa Valmarana and in the adjoining guest quarters, the socalled
'foresteria'. Their patron was count giustino Valmarana, a scholar and theater enthusiast. Tiepolo frescoed
the vestibule and four ground-floor rooms, while his son executed the decoration in the adjacent guest
house. giandomenico's lively genre scenes featuring peasants and merchants were intended to form a
marked contrast with giambattista's noble and tragic themes in the Villa, borrowed from famous works of
greek, roman, and italian literature. Visit: march 10 – november 8 2009 from Tuesday to sunday
10am – 12am / 3pm - 6pm. on request, you can also ask to visit the villa in different periods.Tel:
0444321803. www.villavalmarana.com
Villa Barbarigo, noventa Vicentina. if you go to Vicenza through the panoramic road (see bellow) you must
take a detour and visit this amazing villa. Among the villas erected near Vicenza for Venetian patricians,
Villa barbarigo distinguishes itself because it was built for a dogal family. For this reason it deserves the
title of Villa of the dogi (definition that in the past some authors had not correctly attributed to all the
venetian villas). here everything cooperates to glorify the barbarigo family: the majesty of the architecture
on four floors, the scenographic and solemn façade crowned by daggers and flanked with two wings of
porticoes, the wide cycle of frescoes that fills an area of approximately 430 sqm. Frescoes by Antonio Foler,
Antonio Vassillachi the Aliense and luca Ferrari from reggio. Visits: every day from 9,30 to 12,30 am.
castello di Valbona, Valbona di lozzo Atestino. The castle is situated along the road leading to noventa
Vicentina. it belongs to the most interesting and best preserved fortified buildings in the whole province
and offers a chance to visitors to see an ancient castle in its almost original state . it seems to have its
origins in the 13th century perhaps built on the order of ezzelino da romano. it became the property of
count lozzo, passed to the comune of Padova and to the carraresi. The structure of the castle does not
seem to have served so much as a feudal residence as a significant defence structure, capable of
withstanding the Vicentine raids. in the castle can be visited if you go to the restaurant, or pizzeria and
pub. Tel. 0429 97022. closed on monday and Tuesday and november. open in August.
The castello catajo is situated in the immediate vicinity of Frassanelle, beside the euganean hills, on the
main Padua-rovigo road. its builder, Pio enea obizzi, inventor of the howitzer (ital. olbice), took part in the
siege of lepanto (1571) in which the Turks were defeated. This explains the somewhat oriental,
fortress-like architecture. The park is magnificent with a pond covered in water lilies, in the shade of
massive, centuries-old trees. With their waxy leaves and their showy flowers the magnolias, in particular,
catch the eye. The castello is open from April to August, Tuesday and sunday from 3pm to 7pm. march,
september, october and november: Tuesday and sunday from 2.30 pm to 6.30 pm. Tel. 049 9100411.

ca' Marcello: via del santuario n.11, monselice. only a few kilometres south of the castello del catajo, in
monselice, lies the ca’ marcello. ca' is the Venetians' abbreviation for casa (house) - an understatement
indeed, for this is the heavily fortified castle of ezzelino iii da romano, a local tyrant in the 13th century.
The ca' marcello is the only well preserved example of a lordly residence of that era in the Veneto. remar-
kable, too, are the six chapels on the Via sacra alongside the castle hill. open from April to november. gui-

Villa contarini: Piazzola sul brenta (on the way to cittadella and bassano) antique market on the last
sunday of the month. The magniloquent baroque appearance that the Villa contarini displays today is, in all
probability, the result of the seventeenth-century transformation of a villa designed by Andrea Palladio in
the 1540s for Paolo contarini and his brothers. Traces of Palladio’s work linger on in maps and archival
documents, although little is now visible of a building which was transformed in several campaigns from
1662 on. in 1676 the right wing was enlarged and remodelled, with a two-storey order of rustic columns and
telamons, and a program of ostentatious sculptural decoration which invades the principal villa block too. A
map of 1788 shows that by that date the porticoed hemicycle defining the great piazza already existed. The
50 hectares of parkland are entirely open to visitors. The flowerbeds, lakes, fish ponds, lawns and garden
features, woods and wetlands form a protected environment, home to many species of birds and small
mammals. Visit: the inside of the villa only guided tours: may 1 to september 30:
weekdays 9- 12am / 3-7pm, sundays and holidays 3-8pm; december 1 to February 29: 9-12am / 2-5pm;

Possagno: Gypsotheca museo canoviano: Piazza canova, Possagno (TV). Possagno is the native village of
the neo-classical sculptor Antonio canova (1757-1822). The gypsotheca (greek term for collection of plaster
casts) was built in 1836 just by canova’s native house and it preservers moulds and plaster models, terra-
cotta, wax scale models, some marble statues and about 300 works of canova’s roman studio. in 1957 the
architect carlo scarpa extended the gypsotheca with a new and modern annex which contains some of
canova’s most famous and precius scale model. canova’s house is preserved as it was during his last years
of life. The mortal remains of the great artist are hosted in one of his masterpices the magnificent
neo-classical Temple. Tel: 0423 544323. open from 9.30 am to 6pm. closed on monday, christmas, easter,

Monumental complex Brion: Via del cimitero, san Vito di Altivole (TV).
Along the former border of the small cemetery in san Vito d'Altivole (TV) is located the l-shaped
monumental complex of Tomba brion, projected by the famous italian architect carlo scarpa who was also
buried there. The peculiarity of this building is the mixing of several materials, embedded in a precise
botanical schema that forms a real garden-grave. scarpa himself selected all of the plants decorating the
complex and paid particular attention to the development of ponds and wells, which allowed a silent
movement of water through the complete course of the garden. opening times: daylight saving time:
8am – 7pm. solar time: 9am – sunset. Free entrance. Tel.0423/564018.

ViSiTinG THiS REGion WiTH cHiLdREn
Venetia is rich in attractive sightseeing destinations which are also fun for children. First of all of course
Venice, where children can run and play without any danger of being hurt by cars. A journey in a gondola
along the canals is a magical experience which a child will remember all his life. For the older ones the
arena of Verona recalls the roman gladiators. but also medieval castles can be fun.
Following castles are in the immediate vicinity:
castello di San Martino: very close to Frassanelle, the oldest part of this small castle goes back to the year
1000. later on the carraresi amplified the building. The Venetians used it as a port along the river. Today
the building has been transformed into a museum of the river bacchiglione with finds going from the age
of iron to the middle ages. getting there: turn to the right towards Padova at the traffic lights in Fossona.
The first road to the left is Via san martino, the castle is a little futher down this road. The castle and the
museum are open April 1st to september 30th . saturday 3pm to 7pm, sunday 10am-1pm and 2pm-7pm.
From october 1st saturday 2pm-6pm, sunday 10am-1pm and 2pm-6pm Tel. 049 9915425. responsable
sig.ra debora coron 348 8746424 Tel.0429 647157. www.musei.padova.it.
The castello catajo is situated in the immediate vicinity of Frassanelle, beside the euganean hills, on the
main Padua-rovigo road. its builder, Pio enea obizzi, inventor of the howitzer (ital. olbice), took part in
the siege of lepanto (1571) in which the Turks were defeated. This explains the somewhat oriental,
fortress-like architecture. The park is magnificent with a pond covered in water lilies, in the shade of
massive, centuries-old trees. With their waxy leaves and their showy flowers the magnolias, in particular,
catch the eye. The castello is open from march to november. march, september, october, november:
Tuesday and sunday from 2:30pm to 6:30pm. From April to August: Tuesday and sunday from 3 pm to 7pm.
Tel. 049 9100411. www.castellodelcatajo.it.
castello di San Pelagio: on the same road between Padova and rovigo, north of the castello del catajo,
you will find the interesting museum of the Air (museo dell’Aria), which assembles documents, models and
aeroplanes from the time of leonardo da Vinci to our days. you will find the exposition about gabriele
d’Annunzio highly interesting. it was here that he planned his famous flight to Vienna in 1918. The garden
is also very beautiful with its 2 mazes (a third one is under construction) is a real attraction for children.
open: from march to november. Wed. And Thu. 9am-1pm, Fri. and sat.: 9am-1pm/2:30-6:30pm, sun. and
holidays: 10am-7pm. Tel. 049 9125008. www.museodellaria.it
ca' Marcello only a few kilometres south of the castello del catajo, in monselice, lies the ca’ marcello.
ca' is the Venetians' abbreviation for casa (house) - an understatement indeed, for this is the heavily forti-
fied castle of ezzelino iii da romano, a local tyrant in the 13th century. The ca' marcello is the only well
preserved example of a lordly residence of that era in the Veneto. remarkable, too, are the six chapels on
the Via sacra alongside the castle hill. open from Tuesday to sunday.guided tours daylight saving: at 9am,
10am, 11am, 3pm, 4pm, 5pm. regular hour: 9am, 10am, 11am, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm winter. closed on monday.
Tel. 0429 72931. www.castellodimonselice.it
castello di Valbona: Via castello 2, lozzo Atestino.The castle is situated along the road leading to noventa
Vicentina. it belongs to the most interesting and best preserved fortified buildings in the whole province
and offers a chance to visitors to see an ancient castle in its almost original state . it seems to have its
origins in the 13th century perhaps built on the order of ezzelino da romano. it became the property of
count lozzo, passed to the comune of Padova and to the carraresi. The structure of the castle does not
seem to have served so much as a feudal residence as a significant defence structure, capable of
withstanding the Vicentine raids. in the castle you can find a restaurant, pizzeria and pub, and a children
play area, Tel. 0429 97022. closed on monday and Tuesday and all november.

castello di San Zeno: via carrarese 24, montagnana. The castle of s. Zeno rises in the place of an early
medieval installation that was the residence of the heirs of ugo the great of Tuscany, who later became
marquis of este. The present building goes back for the most part to the 13th century when ezzelino, after
setting montagnana on fire in 1242, decided to rebuild and fortify the town. The building has a rectangular
plan with an ample inner courtyard. Till the early 19th century, the castle was surrounded by a ditch, and
also comprised towers. originally the drawbridge that crossed the ditch giving entrance to the city, led
probably into the inner courtyard of the castle. When Padua, Verona and the other cities in Veneto were
subdued by Venice and stopped their never-ending mutual struggles, montagnana flourished thanks to its
agricultural production, especially hemp. The castle of san Zeno was then turned into a deposit of hemp
and even troop lodging. When the Austrians took over Veneto (napoleon gave the area to them with the
campoformio Treaty, betraying the Venetian republic) and still later on with the kingdom of italy and until
the First World War the castle continued to be used as military lodgings.
The gardens of Villa Barbarigo, Valsanzibio: in the 1600’s Antonio barbarigo, brother of st. gregorio,
enlargened and transformed the exterior of the villa by drawing out a large water garden inspired by the
antique romans. The garden is decorated with 70 statues of which 40 are attributed to marengo.
Furthermore there are 4 ponds, 3 water follies, 16 fountains and a boxwood maze.getting there: from
luvigliano drive towards Torreglia and then Valsanzibio. open from march to november, 10am to 1pm and

The Frassanelle golf club: Via rialto 5/A, 35030 rovolon. Tel. +39 049 9910722 Fax +39 049 9910691,
http://www.golffrassanelle.it, info@golffrassanelle.it closed on Tuesday.
The course has been drawn out within the nineteenth century park of Villa Papafava dei carraresi by marco
croze, one of the best golf architects in italy. he drew out a course with 18 holes adding some difficulties to
the already existent ones, ensuring the golfer to fully enjoy himself on every hole. The club house has been
restored from a rural cottage of the 1700s and it has been furnished with much care and detail in a style
that brings to mind the one of english club houses. The architecture together with the characteristics of the
landscape make the golf club Frassanelle one of the most "english" golf clubs in the Veneto region.
The course: (18 holes par 72 with a development of 6.180 metres) has been designed with modern princi-
ples, with insidious, undulated greens for the presence of the numerous water obstacles like lakes and
streams. each hole requests maximum concentration and a game strategy completely different from the
one used on the previous hole.
dAily Fees : The guests of the estate of Frassanelle are granted a discount on the green fees of the Frassa-
nelle golf course. Please make your reservations ahead of time (2 weeks ahead) via fax to the golf club tel.
+39 049 9910722, fax +39 049 9910691 indicating the date, number of persons and eventual extras (clubs,
car), reminding that you are guests of the Frassanelle estate.
The Veneto has 18 golf courses all in all (see the website below), 2 of which are in the nearest vicinity.

gust, closed on monday.
The golf of montecchia is a 27 holes championship golf course. it is located in the estate of conti emo capo-
dilista with its old castle and elegant villa (XVi century). The course that is stretched across a surface of 82
hectares has been realised from the design of the irish architect Tom mccauley. The course is a modern and
free design with many water obstacles. The club house is very welcoming and comfortable, it is located in
one of the ancient, large buildings of the property.
The course: (27 holes par 72 with a development of 6.318 metres) is completely flat, but very technical
and it requires a good concentration from the golfer who has to pay particular attention to the water obsta-
cles that make the play more difficult. Another particular of this ground is the innovative drainage system,
that makes it possible to play even when the weather is not good. This allows the passionate golfer to play
also under the rain.
directions: out of the property turn right, first stop left, always strait untill traffic light, turn right towards
Padova keep going strait in selvazzano tourn left for montecchia)

are speaking of Arnold Palmer, who still is the owner of the course record with 67, as to say 5 under par. but

many others of the old generation have been playing golf here. Among the younger ones, bernard langer, Josè
maria olazabal, John daly, Angel cabrera, colin montgomery, ian Poulter. The course: (18 holes, Par 72 with
a development of 6.199). From the original project the sandy soil is still the old one but greens are now a lot
more ondulated and many more water hazards are now part of the link. hole number 9 is mythical and publi-
shed on all the most prestigious golf magazines because of its setting on the lagoon. hole number 11 is consi-
dered the best par 5 in all italy. many of the other holes have their special story to tell, for all of them it is
important to be precise and able to hit the ball out of the woods some now and then. last tip: pay attention
to the wind, it can change the way you have to approach to the hole and if you don't understand how and when
you have to change your strategy it can be too late to go back home with a nice score. 6.199 metres. Par 72
metres.
